The two data types that are considered Secondary Data from your list are:

  1. Data purchased from a syndicated research company
  2. Data that is often free and readily available

These types of data are typically collected by someone else and are used by marketers to gather insights without the direct effort needed to collect the data themselves. In contrast, the other two options refer to Primary Data, which is specifically collected to address a particular research question or problem.
